Kids Cuisine

I’m always looking for new recipes.  In particular, I’m looking for recipes that my children can help me prepare.  Right now they have such a desire to help me in the kitchen that I just hate to turn them away.  Quite often, though, the things I am cooking don’t really need the assistance of little […]

I have no problem with bribery.  Sometimes a little sweet treat is just the little something Nicholas needs to be motivated to eat his dinner.  I’m not a big advocate of the Clean Plate Club, because honestly, they will eat when they are hungry.  But that being said, sometimes it’s good to see a little something […]

Do you know a little one who loves trains? When my husband was a child, he was fascinated by all things that rode the rails, and he’s never entirely grown out of that love. This year I found the perfect cake for the train lover in any family — a bundt pan that can make […]

Can you envision a grocery store/restaurant designed especially for kids? Matt Cohen has!
Cohen has created a one-of-a-kind retail store on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Kidfresh. He was inspired to help busy parents select meals that are healthy and well-balanced. While there are lots of prepared foods available for adults, most do not meet […]

When I was asked to review a children’s cookbook, I have to admit that I was skeptical. I’ve spent plenty of time in the kid’s cookbook section at the book store, and I am consistently disappointed with the selection. I get really annoyed when I see that kid’s cooking often leads to making silly shapes […]

Getting any kid to eat vegetables is a challenge, and my four-year-old son, Nicholas, takes after my husband … no green vegetables aside from the occasional cucumber or spinach salad.  That said, he loves salad, base case, and more often than not, will choose a Greek salad or one “with white dressing” over pizza. 
Nicholas is also a […]

Alas, what could be more typical of kid food than a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich? Now granted, my kids have their taste buds very much alert even when it comes to the simplest PB&J. My 4th grader only eats “grandmother’s strawberry jelly,” (freezer jam made mid-summer to supply an entire year of lunches). My […]

The Oregonian has a great article this week about fun ways to improve your family’s diet. The tips come from the owner of the awesome looking P.B. & Ellie’s Cafe, a restaurant designed for kids and their families. If you are anywhere near Portland, this restaurant is definitely worth checking out. The food is fun […]

One of our very hard working writers has taken the time to make live links for all our FBA nominees to make your voting much easier. I realize that the absence of hyperlinks has been an issue with the polls, but I was not able to find a poll that provided the IP blocking security […]

Like many food-inclined people, I have my list of my top kitchen goals for this year.  Some of them require mastering a new skill, or utilizing a cookbook more.  Others are focused on eating healthier, utilizing whole grains, and discovering every single vegetable at the farmer’s market this summer.   What I failed in when making my […]
